Well my thought about the use case is not handling cases with
pre-configured layers such as this one but one that is fairily common one
among our clients that goes like this:

1. user (via rest api) posts a new layer to the server
2. user gets xml representation of the new layer to get all configuration
info
3. user uses config info, bounds, srs, etc... to make a proper OGC service
request
